- A rodent plague on prairie diversity (2002, background): “If voles eliminate plant species that play key roles in the community, such as legumes that fix soil nitrogen ( Sirotnak & Huntly 2000 ), their effects may extend beyond simple repression and release.”
- When do herbivores affect plant invasion? Evidence for the natural enemies and biotic resistance hypotheses (2001, background): “Rodent herbivores can also severely limit plant establishment and productivity (Summerhayes 1941, Batzli and Pitelka 1971, Mills 1986, Ostfeld et al. 1997, Virtanen et al. 1997, Sirotnak and Huntly 2000).”
- The ghost of granivory past (2001, background): “In herbaceous plant communities, vole herbivory on nitrogen-fixing legumes may potentially affect community structure by altering nutrient dynamics ( Sirotnak & Huntly 2000 ).”
- Reindeer influence on ecosystem processes in the tundra (2004, background): “Sirotnak and Huntly (2000) found that voles enhanced soil nutrient cycling during their population peaks, but that mineralization rates were retarded over longer periods because vole herbivory decreased the abundance of plants that produce highquality litter.”
- Nutrient Cycling by Animals in Freshwater Ecosystems (2002, background): “…that animals can be important in the cycling of nutrients in terrestrial, marine, and freshwater ecosystems (e.g., Kitchell et al. 1979; Meyer & Schultz 1985; Grimm 1988a,b; Pastor et al. 1993; Vanni 1996; McNaughton et al. 1997; Vanni et al. 1997; Sirotnak & Huntly 2000; Hjerne & Hansson 2002).”
- The Stoichiometry of Nutrient Release by Terrestrial Herbivores and Its Ecosystem Consequences (2017, background): “…availability for autotrophs in terrestrial, marine, and freshwater ecosystems (Pastor et al., 1993; McNaughton et al., 1997; Covich et al., 1999; Sirotnak and Huntly, 2000; Hunter, 2001; Vanni, 2002; Bardgett and Wardle, 2003; McIntyre et al., 2007; Cech et al., 2008; Roman and McCarthy, 2010;…”
- Trampling and Spatial Heterogeneity Explain Decomposer Abundances in a Sub-Arctic Grassland Subjected to Simulated Reindeer Grazing (2009, background): “Defoliation, that is, removal of plant foliar tissue, is known to affect the quantity of carbon that enters the soil (Paterson and Sim 2000; Sirotnak and Huntly 2000; Paterson and others 2003), and so ultimately the quality of soil organic matter ( Sirotnak and Huntly 2000 ).”
- Role of litter decomposition for the increased primary production in areas heavily grazed by reindeer: a litterbag experiment (2002, unknown): “…the indirect effect of herbivores on litter quality and quantity is more important for the primary production and nutrient dynamics than the direct effect through urine and faeces (McInnes et al. 1992, Pastor et al. 1993, Turner et al. 1993, Kielland and Bryant 1998, Sirotnak and Huntly 2000).”
- Marine megaherbivore grazing may increase seagrass tolerance to high nutrient loads (2012, background): “Their grazing can enhance nutrient cycling and can have direct effects on nutrient fluxes (Thayer et al. 1984; Sirotnak & Huntly 2000).”
- Stoichiometry of nutrient recycling by vertebrates in a tropical stream: linking species identity and ecosystem processes (2002, background): “…aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems (e.g. Grimm 1988; Pastor et al. 1993; Vanni 1996; McNaughton et al. 1997; Vanni et al. 1997; Covich et al. 1999; Sirotnak & Huntly 2000), no studies have systematically explored how animal species Ó2002 Blackwell Science Ltd/CNRS identity affects nutrient…”
